Límites de contribución a la HSA
The HSA contribution limits for 2026 have been adjusted to reflect the cost of living changes. For individuals with self-only coverage, the annual contribution limit has increased to $4,400. This means individuals can save more money tax-free for their healthcare expenses. For those with family coverage, the 2026 limit has risen to $8,750, offering families an opportunity to contribute higher amounts to their HSAs.
Cotizaciones complementarias
If you are aged 55 or older, you can make additional catch-up contributions to your HSA. The catch-up contribution limit remains unchanged at $1,000 for 2026. This provision allows older individuals to save more money and bolster their healthcare savings as they approach retirement age. Catch-up contributions can provide a valuable opportunity to bridge any gaps in savings and ensure financial security for future medical needs.
